We use Regenerative Medicine as a way of trying to stimulate the body to increase or upregulate its ability to heal itself. This applies to joint and ligament tears, but can also be used for aesthetics to help with aging, hair loss, wrinkles, and general wear and tear on the body over time.

Whether it’s the scalp for hair loss, or the face for wrinkles, scars or skin damage, we use microneedles to cause some irritation and signal the body to send reparative cells to fix and repair the tissue. We then apply your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to the area to promote healthy regrowth of those cells

Benefits of Regenerative Medicine Aesthetic Procedures

Patients have reported excellent results! PRP focuses healing factors on a specific area, and provides nutrients to that area. The best thing about this is that you’re using your own body so risks are minimal. Benefits include:

  • Visibly rejuvenated skin
  • Reduction in the appearance of dark spots
  • Increased hair growth
  • Reduction in wrinkles and scarring
  • Natural, non-surgical treatment

Vampire Facials

What we do in the Vampire Facial procedure is we take your blood, spin it down using a centrifuge, and pull out the healing properties – the platelet-rich plasma or PRP. Then we put that back into your skin through micro-needling.  

When the blood gets into the skin it helps with collagen production. After the age of 20, you start to lose 1% of collagen each year. This treatment can be used to reduce small fine wrinkles, scarring, and even acne scarring, and also brown spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

First – an explainer. Regenerative Medicine uses the body’s own tissues to heal itself and this promising, innovative treatment is providing transformative relief to countless patients dealing with a variety of spine and orthopedic conditions. At the VSI, we also use it for a variety of cosmetic treatments too. In these cases, we are using the patient’s own blood to promote cell renewal. 

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is using your body’s own blood and the growth factors in the blood to help stimulate growth. In spine conditions and orthopedics we also use the patient’s own stem cells because that’s the safest option. 

Safety comes first for us so we want to be clear that we use the client’s own healing properties, in this case, blood, in all of our regenerative medicine procedures. To ensure safe procedures, people also want to go to providers that do comprehensive medical evaluations and are experienced so they don’t have to worry about infection or additional risk factors. 

Probably not from an aesthetics perspective. After a procedure on your face or scalp, you’re likely to look like you have a sunburn. We recommend taking a day or two to let things calm down. And because you’re not allowed to use makeup on top of the procedure or the skin right away, there’s no way to conceal the initial reaction. You can expect the procedural effects will be gone in a few days and your appearance will return to normal.

With a vampire facial, we’re actually healing the face – or regenerating the skin. When trying to decide where to go for treatment, make sure you do your research. First and foremost this should always be done by a medical doctor.

Secondly, there are a lot of places out there that are using poor-quality products so the treatment may not be as effective. You may have noticed a number of places popping up that do this, including medspas, salons, etc. 

BE CAREFUL, and find a place that has a lot of experience with regenerative medicine. VSI has been doing this for over a decade. Experience matters when it comes to many treatments in medicine, but most especially for your face! 

The first and most important step is to get a good consultation. With hair loss or skin issues – it’s important to understand the root cause, get a good medical history, check for drug interactions, and run bloodwork to look at hormone and thyroid levels and other things that are fixable. Once that’s done – regenerative medicine is another tool available in your toolbox. 

Expect the number of treatments to vary based on the person, their age, and their needs. If a patient is healthy and dealing with hair loss or facial scarring, it usually takes a few treatments  – between 2 and 3 to see progress. We can see and patients can feel results right away. Patient satisfaction scores are generally very high because patients notice the difference and they can, for example, feel their skin is tighter and fuller.
